At the New York Botanical Garden?

I went yesterday and I just wasn't as impressed as I thought
I should be. I can't quite

They used to get several growers from Brazil to exhibit and also sell. The one
year I attended before they moved it to the WTC we were able to buy up all the
plants in their display along with what they had left at their sales area.

I guess the timing was not good considering the Phila Flower Show was going on
at the same time.

No, you're just thinking of the wrong show. The show that used to be
at the NYBG and then moved to the World Financial Center has now
moved, for the time being at least, to Rockefeller Center and won't be
starting until April 14 (see www.gnyos.org). That one will have
vendors from all over including but not limited to Brazil, and as
usual great exhibits from the vendors as well as area societies.
The "show" they're talking about it something else entirely and would
be better called a "special exhibit" or something.
